Donations: reminder to give money and why

• We are a video collective/ Community media project

Local collective that films stuff in the activist community

• We do peer learning/ SHaring Skills and resources
• We believe that there is a strong need for independent media, sharing resources so that the voice of the unheard will be heard.
• Sharing stories that are not reported by mainstream media, or not well reported
• We think everyone is capable of making good films
• We do activist media but not only; We'd like to allow for folks to tell stories from their unique points of view
• Nothing is more subversive than your imagination, so we believe that our project is revolutionary
• What we've done so far: Videos for the Omni (crowdfunding one shot walkthrough of the omni) / Protests, working with OGC + Documentary on gentrification, Pedie video
• We are renting a room dedicated to media post production
• Why this event:
  • we want you to join/ signup sheet [optikallusionsannounce]
